If the Focus and Volvo are it ill consider shooting myself, bit bored of seeing them :p
 
This has probably already been covered but is it premium only or standards as well?
 
Season 5 big change #1:

No rear aero wings! (like the 92 BMW's...)
 
This TOCA group looks like a racing series I would be interested in, I will keep an eye on this. Any idea on when the season is going to start?

Knowing Furi, about 3 months.

End of April. Thread would be up around start of April.
 
I've always seen the TOCA Series but never paid much attention to it. I'll keep an eye on this as well.
 
Right here is a review of what is known:

~TOCA will remain with RM tyres this season. As for the season after...a change is on the cards.

~8 cars are possible. I can confirm 3 of the S4 cars are among them.

~Calendar may have 1 or two changes but will be pretty much unchanged from S4.

~Pts system should be the same.

~Support race is unknown. This season may be the last with a support race.

~No rear wings. Lot looser cars to handle, and also they have a stronger link with road cars visually.

~Teams will return, but they may be restricted. Whether this means as manufacturer based or merely numerically based is not confirmed.

~The wraps will come off the first S4 car at the weekend.

~Mechanically cars will be different this season.
 
Huh.

Looks interesting. Still think you should take notes from the Swifts...

Bear in mind Swifts are lightly modded road cars. TOCA cars are 300hp (unrestricted could hit 330+hp) and heavier and generally beasts in comparison.

No point in ditching rear wings if you're keeping the racing tyres.

Edit: That being said I do love the fact you're ditching the rear wings.:D

But TOCA cars have customisable suspension...

Even Sports Softs would be a step in the right direction, that and Tyre Wear...

Edit: FIA GT1 cars are running around 420BHP on Racing Hards, and they too easy to drive.

This season cars will be harder to drive. Less aero, and a small but significant mechanical change.

Racing Mediums make the most beastly cars easy to use.

I don't think that a Volvo will be hard to drive.

Harder. Evolution not revolution was what I originally had in mind. Subtle changes are needed.

The cars are way too grippy. The racing is close but boring.

Maybe Revolution is needed, I mean look at the transition between S2 and S3.

And a full on racing car with a ton of downforce is not too grippy? :confused:

1 track may change on the schedule. And Spa is back on.
 
Furinkazen
That was S1 and S2 cars yes.

I meant, look at the transition.

You went from full on racing cars to modified road cars, maybe its time to make another jump (quite small in comparison) to modified road cars on road tyres.

I intended the S3 cars to be based on the new BTCC NGTC regs, 300hp, 1250kg. Now I may begin working backwards, after all TOCA was set up as a tribute to the Super Touring years...
